Instagram Connection Process
1. Kick things off by logging in to your Foam account.
2. If you're starting fresh without any connected socials, you'll land on the Connect your socials page – click Connect Instagram:
💡 If you've already connected your TikTok or YouTube to Foam, connect your Instagram via Tools >> Platform Connections >> Connect Instagram:
3. Enter your Instagram handle and click Connect.
4. A pop-up message will appear, asking you to log in to your Facebook account. This should be the same account that owns the Facebook Business page you connected to your Instagram account:
**If a Facebook window doesn't show up, make sure you have no pop-up blockers enabled. Also, if you are already logged into Facebook, your browser may automatically take you to the next step.
5. Click "Continue as..." to authorize the connection:
6. All set! You should see a confirmation message that your Instagram account is now connected.
